3 Figure 1 Previous Hypotheses of Phylogenetic Relationships among Ants, Bees, and Stinging Wasps Morphological analysis of Brothers [7] (A) and molecular phylogenetic studies of Pilgrim et al. [8] (B) and Heraty et al. [9] (C). Major groups have differently colored branches. Vespid wasps ∗ = Vespidae + Rhopalosomatidae; scoliid wasps ∗ = Scoliidae + Bradynobaenidae.

4 Figure 2 Maximum-Likelihood Tree of Aculeate Hymenoptera Derived from a 308-Gene Matrix This tree was estimated with RAxML [18, 19] based on a 308-gene matrix with 175,404 amino acid sites. Support values are given in the following order: (1) posterior probabilities from a separate Bayesian analysis with PhyloBayes [20, 21], (2) RAxML bootstrap percentages based on 1,000 replicates, and (3) bootstrap percentages from a separate species tree analysis with STAR [22]. Unlabeled nodes have maximum support values (1/100/100). Scale bar indicates number of substitutions per site. From the top of the tree downward, species are as follows: N. vitripennis (Pteromalidae), A. armilla (Chrysididae), P. vespoides (Vespidae), M. flavitarsus (Vespidae), B. timberlakei (Tiphiidae), C. mellipes (Bradynobaenidae), P. grossa (Pompilidae), S. orestes (Mutillidae), Apterogyna ZA01 (Bradynobaenidae), C. alcione (Scoliidae), P. barbatus (Formicidae), L. humile (Formicidae), S. oregonense (Formicidae), H. saltator (Formicidae), S. caementarium (Sphecidae), L. albipes (Halictidae), M. rotundata (Megachilidae), A. mellifera (Apidae), and B. terrestris (Apidae). Major lineages are color coded using the same scheme as in Figure 1. See also Figure S1. Current Biology  , DOI: ( /j.cub ) Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Ltd Terms and Conditions

5 Figure 3 Evolution of the Aculeate Hymenoptera
Blue-green branches represent parasitoidism; orange branches represent nest construction and predation (with pollenivory and omnivory as derivative states thereof). Asterisks designate lineages containing eusocial species. Ants are entirely eusocial, but this is not true of all species of Vespidae and Apoidea. Biological information is from various sources, summarized in Gauld and Bolton [2] and Huber [13]. Names of superfamilies are modified from Pilgrim et al. [8]. Placement of Rhopalosomatidae is based on Pilgrim et al. [8] and Debevec et al. [11]. Images courtesy of Alexander Wild and Kurt Schaefer.
